So I have noticed that I have elicited an extremely negative reaction from some of you. I think part of it is to do with my political views, which is fine, but I am also being mass PM'd a reference to a prior instance which I never explained myself or apologized for.

There was a user who was harassing clouds, but I did not understand that context-- I thought it was a mutual flame war, I did not know this third party had broken the ToS or sent horrible DMs to clouds or anyone else. This was due to my mistake of not reading or understanding the full context, and I should not have said anything in retrospect. It was never my intention to facilitate that kind of behavior, apologize for it, or in any way make a user on this website feel attacked or at risk due to my behavior. Regardless, I take responsibility for that, while maintaining it was a good faith mistake.

The reason I called the parties to mediation, was to address the tendency I have observed on the website for flame wars to develop. It was my hope, at one time, that Raddle could become a more nurturing space for people to aggressively interrogate ideas while enjoying a respectful environment of anarchist peers. I do have hope still that this vision of Raddle might come about, but I know that I will never be welcome in such a possible future. Instead, it is entirely contingent on the people who are still welcome in the community to seek to make whatever vision they have for the Raddle social space, into reality

Thanks, I have really learned a lot from you all. Good luck with everything here

edit: apparently i was being harassed by one person with tons of sock accounts. This behavior is emotionally abusive & should be grounds for expulsion from the forum, as well as a red flag of further abusive behavior to anyone around this person IRL.

Hi. Another admin deleted the 20 accounts that were vote manipulating you. They were all made within seconds of each other. When the accounts were deleted, the votes were reversed. They were all using the same IP address.

I am a bit confused. Would you be willing to explain?

Erisian apparently filled her inbox with angry pms accusing her of something. I don't really understand what the accusation is but it doesn't seem worth harassing a depressed trans woman over.

I'm okay with believing my comrade when she says she didn't know about your rape threats.

I'm not Celeb. I'm only using a throwaway so you don't harass me.
